I think you should use a different syntax for specifying IP addresses
that are going to be included with the NOPROXY option.

A few concerns:

1. RFC 952 allows hostnames with numbers, it's just that the hostname
can't start with a number. What happens if the user sets something like
this, "A-1.*" ?

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc952

2. What's your approach for dealing with IPv6 addresses?

3. How do you cope with subnets? 192.168.0.0/25 and 192.168.0.0/23 both
generate a range of addresses that can't be expressed in a single entry.

I would suggest you switch to CIDR notation. Perhaps someone else on
the list can provide more detailed comments about IPv6.
